A recent survey of over 3,500 IT managers listed the five high-tech skills that don’t command what they once did:

  1. Plain old HTML. Demand for HTML programming skills is declining as companies start to embrace Web 2.0 technologies.
  2. Legacy programming languages. Cobol, Fortran, PowerBuilder, and more, don’t rate as highly as they once did.
  3. NetWare. Windows Server and Linux skills have either replaced, or are replacing, NetWare skills in terms of demand.
  4. Non-IP network. IP/Web skills have usurped non-IP network expertise.
  5. PC tech support. This includes not just knowledge of hardware issues, but printers and other peripherals as well.
